BEAN: 6

This was my first exposure to the character "Mr. Bean", and I didn't seem to enjoy this as much as my buddy who was familiar with the TV series, so I don't know if that was a factor. I found most of the humor predictable, almost a single version of The Three Stooges in parts. Perhaps it was a combination of the predictability and the slapstick angle that made me snicker rather than laugh most of the time - although there were a few parts that had me roaring out loud.
